Rampage Field Pro Part 2


First Ride

If you have already seen part 1 you will know my views on the looks on the bike, first impressions and just generally what I thought about the bike, now I will tell you what my views are on actually the field pro.
Ive ridden a fair few types of bikes, and a number of pit bikes, but the Field Pro is a different type of bike from all of them, with the larger wheels from the pit bike, but smaller wheels from a MX bike.

After checking over the bike one more time before I went to the area I ride I took a few pictures, here they are.

Handleing / Posistion

The first thing I notcied when riding was the seating posistion, it sinks you into the middle of seat, which seems good and comfy for field riding, but unfortunatly I was riding in a small dense area, so I managed to sit nearer the back of the seat, which makes it good for wheelies, just a twist of the throttle and a tug on the bars and there up.
Handleing was one of the best parts of the bike, the front suspension is great, the rear shock set on standard is great for rough terrain but maybe a bit bouncy for jumps, that can be adjusted though, cornering was smooth, and riding in general was much more comfy it handles the small bumps to the large dips with ease, probably due to the larger wheels too, I can safely say its one of the best handleing *pit bike / field bike* ive ridden. the brakes prooved to very responsive also, but unlike my red 110 if I slammed on the front brake I wouldnt flip over the handlebars, but the back brake is very easy to reach and ive found myself using it more than the front.

Heres some picture, sorry about the quality of these ones.

Now i'm defiently not a professioanl rider, but these bikes are so easy to wheelie and to ride over rough terrain, any tom dick and harry could ride one, wheelie one, no problem.

Power / Clutch

Well the engine in general is great, starts first time every time, no flat spots and pulls just as well as any other 125 pit bike engine ive ridden, the gears as with any brand new bike where clunky, but seen wore themselves in and proved to be very good and reliable, be advised to check the clutch BEFORE you ride, as mine wasnt adjusted properly, if I had the clutch held in gear it would still pull away, nothing a bit of adjusting didnt sort out, runs and rides perfectly, the power so far is there and ready, power slides easy to pull off just as well as the power wheelie, first gear has more umph in it then my other pit bikes did, maybe due to the sprocket set up, but to end this part on a simple note, the power is noticeable, its smooth and ive had no problems, the exhaust isnt as loud as the other rampage's I own, which is a nice change.

Conclusion

The Rampage Field Pro is a great field bike, as said in the bikes title, it is a field pro, ive had alot of fun riding this bike, its a change from the 10" pit bikes and to me is a totally different class to the pit bikes, this bike is aimed at people who want general field riding, or long rides and green laning, its comfy to ride for long journeys and will tackle most obsticles in its way.

[mr hoppy]

why not bring it along to one of vinces tracks ?

[LEEROY_UK]

Yeh that would be a good idea not only would you be riding on a track that is legal and not on public land youd have to wear a helmet too .Naughty!
As you probably know the law has changed with riding illegally on public land the cops WILL now crush your bike and you will get pionts on your licence even if you havent got one, no second chances.
Remember peeps ride responsibly.

[mx maniac]

whats the price of the bikes including delivery and how long must u wait for it to be delivered

[mx maniac]

they should be jailed thieving bast..ds wont bother with them

[kern]

yeah ive been looking for somewhere legal to ride, ive been stopped by the police on the way home from riding, i got off lightly and they asked for me to go there again, which was fair enough, so ive been stuck riding in very small circles in my back garden for ages, as for the helmet, i know that was my fault, ive allready ruined my MX helmet and not taking me £350 road helmet off road, tempting fate i know.

and as for POR there moving there products to stock for 7 day delivery due to the bookahead causing way too much trouble.

[BLONDIE_UK]

Well the matter of the situation is that people are not recieving what they asked for, and they are paying the full ammount of money (£300+) and at the last minute being told it has been delayed or some stupid pathetic lil' reason or other! Next week on September 5th they have to attend court and we shall see where it goes from there, hopefully they get put out of buisness! *God forgive me* :banghead: also as it states in one of the above articles, Trading Standards are as full well involved and will hopefully do there bit to help let down customers :mad:

[mr hoppy]

if you do want an orion bike you could allways contact the official orion importer who are youngs international 01392 360620 . dont know if they sell direct to the public but give them a ring n they can point you to your local authorised stockist:)

[kern]

I agree, if i was POR i would really start listening to what you people are saying, could save a company, but oh well, its money at the end of the day unfortunatly...

[mr hoppy]

quite, but it would seem not their money !

[mr hoppy]

but hopefully trading standards will be able to sort this mess out

[Powermod1]

Hi guys

You have to work on facts, firstly the dear news one had alot of false information and they will be writting another story.

Secondly, POR has delivered 14,000 bikes so far. Tradeing stanadrds only had 200 compalints total. This is a tiny percentage of overall deliveries, BUT STILL agreed to much. TS is now working with POR, not everything read in the press is true. TS is there for both the companies and the consumer, many compalints relate to other issues e,g customer crashed bike but insists on warranty even though not covered,

With over 30 poducts listed on the POR site, why do you only read compalints in the past about one model the big wheel or small wheel 125cc. This is becuase POR delivered all the other models on time. WHY was their a problem with hat model? The factory sent over 600 wrong bikes, these were pre-paid, these bikes had to be returned and re ordered doubling or tripleing delivery times. Comnpetitors pounced on this and started the rumours. Most of these customers received their bikes aleady and all were upgraded. DELIVERIES speak for them selves simples as that!! On any given week we send out 300 bikes at least. From stock was introduced 4 weeks ago, if you dont want to risk any delay or problem we will deliver from stock in 7 working days? its more expensive becuase its a different supplier but its far quicker.


As always I have come on here and offered help to anyone with an order with POR and this still stands. We have over 1800 (one thousand eight hundred bikes) bikes comeing in in the next 6 weeks alone to make sure no delays happen again.

I hope the above helps

[mr hoppy]

i m sorry , but you seem to make no mention of the people who are still awaiting refunds also i know of many people waiting for different products so its not just the 125 series ;
here are some examples:
oafc marky 150 rampage
chalkie 17 4 months for refund
jordan hill 110 rampage
blondie uk refund cheque bounced twice & still hasnt been honoured.
i await todays court hearing eagerly

[mr hoppy]

also why do you keep deleating threads , it only makes por seem more sinister !
this is a members forum where the members are entitled put forward their views, shape up boys

[Powermod1]

Hi mate.

The refund system has been changed as the cheques were stopped becuase althogh they might have put them in on correc dates, other have not, so all refunds are now being done by bank payment. Delayed aorders are now down to a veryy small amount and the refund list is again been reduced greatly in the last 2 weeks.

150cc are due in tommorow and so are 110cc so they will be sorted this week anyway.

Will look into the refunds.

for them, if anyone does have an outstanding issue please pm me and will get it resolved.

[110rider]

see pm powermod1. cheers matey

[minimoto-mad]

Good reveiw there kern
Getting sick of people complaining about bikes being delayed.

[jordanhill]

i have been waiting 2 months for a rampage 110 cc from power off road they keep making excuses like the truck has been delayed and saying theyve upgraded my bike and itll be here shortly but i got bored of waiting so i went and got a bam bike and its great

[Powermod1]

Hi Jordan.
